An Android mobile banking malware called « EventBot » which steals user data from financial applications is spreading, warns the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In).
This mobile banking Trojan abuses Android’s in-built accessibility features to steal user data, read user SMS messages and intercept SMS messages, allowing malware to bypass two-factor authentication, the cybersecurity agency said in its advisory this month.
EventBot targets over 200 different financial applications, including banking applications, money-transfer services, and cryptocurrency wallets, or financial applications based in the US and Europe region at the moment but some of their services may affect Indian users as well.
